Обсуждение: Data statement format used by the .sh scripts

Hello Every one,

Can some one explain me the under mentioned Data
statement format including the insert
parameters....which is excessively used in
pg_attribute.h ,pg_class.h,pg_proc.h and at many more
places..... 

DATA(insert ( 1255 prosrc 26 -1 -1 -1 0 -1 -1 f x
i f f f t 0));

Thanks,
Nauman

This says to insert into the previously opened relation a new tuple,
whose attribute values are enumerated in the line.  Frankly I don't see
what's so strange about it?  If you add a column to the table, you have
to add a corresponding value, in the correct position, to all these
lines (where applicable, i.e.  only when the table you added is open.)

If there are a lot of them (depending on which table you modified),
probably the easiest is to use the sed utility or something similar.
